I’m selling my lightly used Fuji Finepix x100 with extras. The camera is awesome, but I want to get a Macbook Air and so I must part with the x100. :(

So besides the amazing camera, here’s what you get:

• a hood ($50 value)
• a Fujifilm EF-20 flash with diffuser ($125 value)
• and spare battery.

The internal flash doesn’t seem to work, but I’m not sure–it could just be a setting I’m missing. Includes everything you see in the photos, including manuals for the camera and flash, and a rare Flickr lens cloth. Buy it from me on Tumblr and I’ll include a 16GB memory card. Total cost: $1100.

16 Pixels for body copy. Anything less is a costly mistake.

As a farsighted web designer who routinely bumps up the text size on every single website, I beseech you, fellow designers, check out this article, or Wilson Miner’s excellent article on the subject, Relative Readability.

Amit’s one of the most incredible people I’ve ever met, and I’m proud to be his friend. If you think you can help, please, check out this blog post for more information.

‘The best thing you can do is get anyone you know of South Asian descent to take a very simple, free, painless test and spread the word to their friends. You can take the test at our party on October 14th or register online to receive a kit! There is a cost associated with each test, but the person taking the test is not required to pay it. We are, however, trying to raise as much money as we can to support the test costs. Send any dollar amount to 4amit@nwc.co on Paypal to help!’

Gilmore and Pine put forth this interesting concept, that the most valuable thing in products today is: are they real? are they authentic? Which is a bold hypothesis. And then they go further and they say, “Well, now why is it? Why now? It didn’t always used to be this way. Certainly it’s not what sold stuff in the ’80s, right? It wasn’t authenticity and reality that sold stuff then.

You can always feel when product/market fit isn’t happening. The customers aren’t quite getting value out of the product, word of mouth isn’t spreading, usage isn’t growing that fast, press reviews are kind of “blah”, the sales cycle takes too long, and lots of deals never close.
Markets that don’t exist don’t care how smart you are.
Good designers like observing — really looking at what people do rather than simply relying on what they say they do.
